Share Your World – Week 8

Would you rather be given $10,000 for your own use or $100,000 to give anonymously to strangers?

I would donate the $100,000 to domestic violence shelters in my county. If I had to give it out to individual people I would visit those shelters and give stacks of cash to women and children who have been devastated by abuse to give them a chance to get out on their own.

When you’re 90 years old, what will matter most to you?

I want to have interesting stories to tell about a life well lived. Or cautionary tales. Lots of cautionary tales…

Candy factories of the entire world have become one and will now be making only one kind of candy. Which kind, if you were calling the shots?

Dark salted caramels. Every day. All the time. Who needs anything else?

So, you’re on your way out and it’s raining. Do you know where your umbrella is or do you frantically search for it all over your apartment/house?

I’m from Oregon – we don’t use umbrellas. The Grunden’s rain jacket hangs by the door, where it can drip onto a towel. This time of year it never seems to get completely dry.
